Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Vilma does not count against our 53 yet. If they decide to bring him back we will have to cut another player at that point.

I don't get the Wilson move either but perhaps the coaches know more than we do about his injury.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

We'll have to cut someone else when/if Vilma is activated

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

isn't Reddick on the roster too?

confused

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Yes he is, and the coaches love his potential.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Umm...

Wow.

I'm pretty disappointed we never truly tried to unleash Wilson as we did with Junior. It took some time but that would out really well for us being patient with him. While he may or may not have worked out, I wish we would have given him some more time.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Considering how our defense is playing this season and Wilson having 1 sack and 4 tackles (0 assists) in 4 games. He hasn't produced and isn't needed.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

I wonder if Martez was cut over Dawson because of salary cap? Under 3 different def coordinators and showed so much potential the following years this a head scratcher since Humber, Reddick, Dawson, Herring, & Abdul-Quddus I thought will be preferable cut. Why not trade him for someone or 2015 at least draft pick

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Unfortunately this is the truth. I would hate to see Wilson go to another team and become a pro-bowl player, but best of luck to him as he will be signed soon.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

My post came off a lot colder than I intended. I wish him the best, we just don't need him right now.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

to get a sack with the play time he had this year and not being healthy those stats work for his benefit

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

I'm definitely shocked Martez was cut... I know we all had such high hopes for him. He was pretty much leapfrogged though by Parys Haralson and our hopes for him are pretty much based on measurables like his size and speed. Maybe he is a better fit at ILB and I know some team will give him a shot but he didn't get it done here. Wish we had been able to trade him.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Maybe the stats would be different if he was out there more.. he could even be nice if we catch another injury bug but you can't tell me he wouldn't be the better choice down the road out of some of the older guys on the roster.


Chasing can Newton down sideline to sideline you can't cut talent like that.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

I didn't read it as you being cold or harsh. You're just stating the facts and its true, despite his athleticism he has not been able to produce or stay healthy.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

I hate to see Wilson go but happy for Ryan.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Because we didn't have the time to look for a trade. Griffin was apparently a hot commodity and the Rams could have signed him at any time...

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Apparently they can, because they did...

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Just as much as we have seen from Wilson, no?

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

That's the last player I expected to see cut today to make room for Griffin. I had high hopes for him coming into the season but his production deserves him getting cut. Hope he can resign with the Saints sometime later this season

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

+1. I honestly didn't see this coming and hopefully this guy is brought back in some capacity for the Saints.

Dang.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

I wish we hadn't given up on him so soon... He has that freaky athleticism that you have to be born with. There's no way he doesn't get snatched up by a team that's in need of LB help like the Bears, Texans or dare I say it... the Falcons.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

My thoughts exactly...just not the Clowns. It would make me sick.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

He's really not what the Falcons are looking for in a OLB... They prefer the smaller 4-3 LBs who are good in coverage. They play in mostly sub-packages keeping only 2 LBs on the field.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

I totally did not see that one coming. I hope we dont live to regret this like whats his face over on the Patriots.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

We'd never win a Super-Bowl without Ninkovich; Oh Wait!? :rolleyes:

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Good luck Martez ... and I'm sure we still have him on speed dial.

Does this mean we're carrying 3 QB's?! I think we're pretty serious about Griffin!

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Maybe Griffin will come up with an injury in practice & have to go on IR. then bring back Tez before Houston grabs him. They need LBs with the loss of Cushing & Montgomery.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

No way he clears waivers, somebody will nab him tomorrow...

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

I had really high expectations for Wilson since they drafted him. Even higher this year with the switch to a 3-4. I really thought the guy was going to produce. I hate to see him go.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

3 dammed years and cut , dam the bad luck, was he smoking crakerjacks

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster?
 

Really..... they coulda had Ingram and Griffin for a cornerback or Zac Stacy....

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Yes Reddick is on the Roster.... played snaps in the Patriots game.... I was confused.. because I thought he originally had been cut!!!

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Wasn't Martez playing well? I wonder why he was deemed expendable?

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

He has been injured and only active 1 or 2 games this year, 1 sack and 4 tackles isn't playing well...

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

It's not to me..... It says I ( Shawn Payton) plan on being here beyond the career of Drew Brees....

And think about it this way If I groomed this girl from high school to be my Drew Brees Why would I let you come and put your Sam Bradford all over her and soil her before I can make her my Drew Brees....

- If you wanna put your Mark Sanchez all over my Drew Brees its gonna cost you.... .So either pay me for mine, or get your own!!!! Too much??

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Sounds pretty creepy putting things that way.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

Tez must have been in the dog house, thats the only thing I can think of.

Re: Ryan Griffin to active roster Martez Wilson cut
 

indeed...don't get your bradford or sanchez all over me either!
